Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Well, I don’t want money
Xu Li didn't hold back when she beat Yang Qiaoqiao, her blows were truly magnificent. When she returned home and told everyone about it, her eyes welled up. She clutched Liu Mianmian's hand and sobbed, "How could you listen to Yang Qiaoqiao? You child, did you really believe your family would let you marry off?!"
Yu Guodong was furious: "Am I, your second brother, such a coward that I can't find a wife and have to use you as a replacement?! You stinky girl, you look down on me too much!"
Liu Mianmian didn't know why the original owner believed Yang Qiaoqiao's nonsense. Yu Guodong was indeed not that kind of person, and Xu Li and Yu Yongcheng were certainly not the kind of parents who would let their daughter be exchanged for a bride.
But what could she say? She could only admit that she was stupid and believed what people were saying.
Yu Guodong snorted and clenched his fists. "I won't settle this with Yang Qiaoqiao. I'll settle it with Yu Guoxing later."
Yu Yongcheng sighed. His second brother was spoiled by his mother. He originally thought that at least his sister-in-law was an honest person, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
He didn't dare say anything more, fearing that the fire would burn him, and hurriedly said, "Let's eat first, otherwise the guests will starve."
Xu Li knew what Yu Yongcheng was thinking. She glared at him, wiped her eyes and said, "Eat."
There are many people eating today, and there is no room in the house, so we just put it in the yard.
In the summer, it gets dark late. Even after the sun sets, the sky is still quite bright. Yu Guoliang lit a bunch of mugwort and swung it around the yard. The thick smoke from the burning mugwort can help repel mosquitoes.
I saved some chicken and meat for lunch, fried two vegetables, and made a pot of bacon and potato rice. The potato rice, in particular, was well received by everyone.
In the evening, the village is filled with a cool breeze and a sense of tranquility, accentuated by the chirping of cicadas and frogs.
"It's so comfortable!" Shen Weiyun sighed, leaning back in his chair.
Xu Li laughed. "If you feel comfortable, stay a few more days." What a city kid! Even with such simple food, she actually sighed with comfort. But Xu Li was also quite happy. The Shen siblings both looked unapproachable, but they were actually quite nice people, especially Shen Weiyun, who had a very simple personality. A sister-in-law who was easy to get along with would be much less troublesome as a sister-in-law.
Liu Mianmian actually felt comfortable too. In the 1980s, it was a pure and natural countryside with very good air, very pure sky, and even the stars were very bright.
As night fell, the stars sparkled like diamonds on a black velvet dress. Liu Mianmian stared at the diamonds, recalling the magical experiences of the past few months, and felt a trance as if she didn't know what day it was.
It was not until Shen Weizhuo's low voice fell into her ears that Liu Mianmian woke up from a trance and realized that she had fallen asleep without knowing when.
She raised her head slightly and looked at Shen Weizhuo standing in front of her. The man's eyes were as bright as diamonds on black velvet.
"Hmm?" She nasally murmured hazily.
"If you feel sleepy, go back to your room and sleep." Shen Weizhuo said.
Not far away, Yu Guodong moved a chair and put it under the eaves: "It's time to sleep, it's time to sleep."
Liu Mianmian sat up straight: "Oh, sleep."
She suddenly realized a problem: "How to sleep?"
Shen Weizhou glanced at her and said, "Weiyun and sister-in-law will sleep in one room, and Zhiyuan and your elder and second brothers will sleep in another."
Liu Mianmian: “…” It means that the two of them will sleep in the same room.
Shen Weizhou cleared his throat and explained, "Your mother arranged it."
The mother-in-law personally arranged accommodation and would rather separate Yu Guoliang and his wife so that they could live in the same room.
Although they usually slept in one bed in this room, for some reason, both of them felt a little awkward at this moment.
Liu Mianmian stood up: "I'm going to wash up."
In the corner of the yard, a small room partitioned off with old wooden planks was used for summer showers. However, the village had no running water, so shower water had to be brought from a well outside. Yu Guoliang and Yu Guodong had already fetched the water, and by the time Liu Mianmian fell asleep, the others had already washed up.
Liu Mianmian took a quick shower and changed into pajamas with a short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
Shen Weizhou was still sitting in the yard. When he saw her come out, he stood up. Liu Mianmian slapped her thighs: "Walk, walk, there are mosquitoes."
Shen Weizhuo carried the chair to the eaves and followed her.
Naturally, they lived in the room where the original owner had lived.
Liu Mianmian was actually quite surprised that the Yu family still kept the original owner's room.
You have to know that the original owner left two years ago and had no contact with the Yu family since then. Although the Liu family had concealed the letter, Liu Mianmian knew that the original owner really did not want to associate with her adoptive parents in the countryside anymore.
For such a long time, the Yu family actually did not have sufficient housing, and the two children lived in one room with Yu Guoliang and his wife. Yu Guodong was getting married soon. If it were someone else, he would have cleaned up half of the room and used it for his own use.
The room was not big and simply furnished, with a bed, a desk, and a small chest of drawers. The desk even had the original owner's books and notebooks on it.
No one has lived in the house for two years, but there is no dust and no musty smell that comes from being uninhabited for a long time. It is obvious that it is cleaned regularly.
Liu Mianmian looked around the room and her eyes fell on the narrow bed, which was about one and two meters wide.
“…”
Is this bed too small?
Shen Weizhou glanced at her and took the initiative to say, "You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."
Liu Mianmian immediately shook her head. "With your physique, why would you sleep on the floor? If you want to sleep on the floor, I'll do it... No, there's no extra mat in this room." Thinking about it carefully, the Yu family didn't have any extra mats. She vaguely seemed to have heard Xu Li mention a mat with several holes in it that could be patched up and used. It seemed that it was for the Yu Guoliang brothers.
"Let's just squeeze in." Liu Mianmian sighed, "You sleep outside. I'm afraid if I sleep outside, you'll kick me out of bed in the middle of the night."
Shen Weizhuo, who always had a good sleeping posture, was silent for a few seconds. He didn't care about Liu Mianmian's unfounded speculation and nodded softly.
The light cord of this room was at the door. After Liu Mianmian lay down, Shen Weizhuo pulled the light cord and returned to the bed in the dark.
Liu Mianmian leaned in, but it was no use. The bed was so small that when Shen Weizhou lay down, their bodies were touching. Liu Mianmian immediately regretted that she had brought short-sleeved pajamas this time, so their exposed skin inevitably touched each other's. This feeling was so different from their usual "Chu River and Han River" sleeping on each side.
Liu Mianmian felt as if she could hear her own heartbeat, bang, bang, bang, fast and urgent, just like running 800 meters.
Inevitably, my mind recalls what happened after I got drunk that time.
They were both so busy lately that even though they shared a room and a bed, they barely had time to talk. Besides his research, Shen Weizhou was also busy contacting people to research mold removers, laundry detergent, body wash, shampoo, and more. Besides work, she also had to find time to go to the market, sort fabrics, and work with Aunt Liu.
Of course, the most important thing is that she was actually avoiding it subconsciously.
She did kiss Shen Weizhuo that night, and Shen Weizhuo responded to her.
Then what?
What does a drunken kiss really mean? Perhaps it was just an impulse, so it's better not to mention it or think about it.
I might be able to do it at ordinary times, but it seems impossible at this moment.
The person next to me has such a strong presence.
Liu Mianmian couldn't help but move, and in vain she leaned against the wall, trying to increase the distance between them. Shen Weizhou suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying in a low voice, "Mianmian, don't move."
His voice was a little hoarse, very different from usual. The hot breath sprayed on Liu Mianmian's ear. She curled her toes and felt the tingling sensation that seemed to spread from the roots of her ears to all her limbs.
The fingers Shen Weizhuo was holding on to were a little cold, but Liu Mianmian felt that there seemed to be fire in that coolness. She subconsciously moved, trying to pull her hand away.
Shen Weizhou suddenly tightened his grip and asked, "Remember you said you'd give me a cut of the profits once you developed the mold-killing agent?"
Liu Mianmian's mind was a little confused. She didn't understand why he suddenly brought up this matter, and subconsciously said, "Don't you want it?"
"Well, I don't want money." Shen Weizhuo said.
Liu Mianmian wanted to say, yes, you said you didn’t want it, but at the same time, her mind became clear again, and she suddenly realized that what he said was “no money”, not “no”.
No charge.
What do you want?
Liu Mianmian opened her mouth and felt her heartbeat quicken a few beats.
"Is it okay?" Shen Weizhuo asked, his voice slightly tense.
Liu Mianmian pursed her lips and was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, she said, "Shen Weizhou, are you sick? Are you comparing me to money? I'm not..."
A warm breath suddenly approached, and a moist kiss fell behind her ear. Liu Mianmian's breathing stagnated, and she heard Shen Weizhou whisper in her ear: "Well, I was just kidding. I can't compare my money with yours."
Her heart skipped a beat and she wanted to say something, but he raised his body slightly and kissed her lips precisely.
Even though Liu Mianmian didn't really lose her memory when she was drunk last time, the feeling in her memory and the real feeling are still very different.
In memory... actually... Liu Mianmian was confused, Shen Weizhuo looked quite gentle, why at this moment, he had such a domineering and strong attitude that was inconsistent with his character?
Shen Weizhou bit her lips lightly and asked vaguely, "What are you thinking about?"
Liu Mianmian didn't answer, but licked his lips gently. His breathing became heavier, and she kissed him again.
